Ha. Yes, I have some Peruvian friends and have found they often think the same. But that's the nature of a disordered relationship with power in a country - it's disordered, the pendulum swings too far in both directions - having a for-profit own their water supply leads directly to Cochabamba. So I'd like to believe change could be approached differently here, but I don't know enough to know, and remains to be seen.

sorry, but J does not automatically equal pure utilitarianism dude... or are you just making a grammar nazi comment... in which case im still confused as to what that would have to do with judgement versus perception?

I've done a lot of animal rescue, including dogs. If there is 'any' chance to pass off a pit/mix as a lab or some other 'less scary' breed, it's done--on paper; I don't know, however, how many of us believe the paperwork, or all the hype about pits being dangerous 'as a whole'; I mean, they are a mix of breeds, and of course, the breeders and first caregivers have so much to do with how well the particular dog gets socialized, or not. You, and whoever came before, did a good job; he looks good-natured, healthy, and relaxed. I had a Rottie, and he was a sweetie; great guard dog I got when he was 7 or 8, had been abused. I had a lot of work to do; had to keep a close eye on him. And it was worth it. He was wonderful.
